Your notes to yourself are so wholesome and a great idea. It shows you're really putting thought and effort into these exercises which is awesome. Your Superimposed Lines are like butter. Great job keeping the fraying to a minimum and having virtually no fray at the starting point. That shows you are controlling where you are placing your pen and not rushing.

Your Ghosted Lines are very smooth and show no signs of hesitation. You also have extraordinary accuracy in hitting both points. Obviously, the longer lines are not as accurate (sometimes they go longer than the point or are a little off) but the point of the exercise is to get a confident line which you did, and I'm sure you will get more accurate with the longer lines with more practice.

The Ghosted Planes look great as well. You can tell you did not rush with them as your lines are steady and hit the points with precision. There are a couple of wonky lines on one of the pages haha I made the same mistake of just drawng a line from the halfway point without taking into consideration the perspective of the quadrilateral. It looks like you got the hang of it with all of the other boxes though so nice job.

You really did a great job! I know I did not have much criticism but hopefully my feedback will serve as positive affirmations of your abilities!! lol keep up the great work:)

Thank you so much for this helpful, constructive AND nice comment :) I appreciate the time you spent on reviewing my work and I'll make sure to be here once you submit yours ;)

I have to admit that the longer lines are indeed dreadful, but it's really with the longer lines I think that you can understand the scope of using your shoulder to draw given that it's an articulator with a larger amplitude than the wrist and elbow. Hence, it is helpful for me to force myself into drawing long lines.

As for the wonky lines..., everytime I undershoot my line I just try to fix it and I end up doing...well.. this.. haha

Many thanks for your time again!

Cheers,

Jul

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

The Art of Blizzard Entertainment

While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.

The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
